The Red Patriots team set a goal of raising $2,000, but 12 weeks later, raised over $4,000!

RPT letter to Volunteers: Over the 152 years of the Republican Party of Texas thousands of men and women have built this Party into what we know today. We celebrate their accomplishments and reap the blessings of their sacrifices. You - the volunteers of year - have given so much over the years to make this Party the incredible bastion of liberty it is. You knocked on doors, made calls, sent emails, got out the vote, and helped propel our candidates to victory from the courthouse to the White House!
Tonight, we are proud to stand beside you and celebrate your accomplishments. You have selflessly given of your time and your talent to help elect Republicans across this great state. You are the secret of our strength and the key to our victories in November! Thank you for all you have done and for all you will continue to do in helping keep Texas a beacon of liberty and prosperity in the years to come.
